1 Safety Notes 2 Care And Maintenance When using your equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts. DO NOT operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been dropped or damaged until it has been examined by qualified service personnel. DO NOT let cord hang over edge of table, bench, or other counter surfaces or come in contact with hot manifolds or moving fan blades. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal to or more than that of the equipment should be used. Cords rated for less current than the equipment may overheat. Care should always be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled accidentally. Always unplug equipment from the electrical outlet when not in use for extended periods. Never use the cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect. It is good practice to leave the Teradyne Pocket Tester connected to a suitable power supply when not in use, to keep the battery fully charged. Let equipment cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around equipment when storing. To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate the equipment in the vicinity of open containers of flammable liquids. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating internal combustion engines. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all body parts away from moving parts. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not use on wet surfaces, expose to rain or any other fluid type. Only use the equipment as directed in the manual. Use only equipment suppliers recommended attachments. Use of non recommended parts may invalidate equipment warranty. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. While using the Teradyne Pocket Tester please ensure that the auto DLC cable does not get trapped between the door and vehicle body, always use the window area. 2.1 Cleaning The Teradyne Pocket Tester Switch OFF the power and unplug all electrical cables from the Teradyne Pocket Tester before cleaning the equipment. The Teradyne Pocket Tester should only be cleaned using a non abrasive, mild cleaning agent. Do not use any form of polish on the unit. Note: Dust and other particles should be lightly brushed from the surface of the unit. Cleaner should be applied to a soft lint free cleaning cloth and never directly to the Teradyne Pocket Tester. Do not soak the cleaning cloth and take care not to allow cleaning fluid to enter the electrical connectors. 2.2 Care Of The CD Software Installation Disc Ensure the disc is free from dirt or contamination before use. Avoid exposing the disc to direct sunlight or high temperatures. If necessary, clean CD disks with approved cleaner and smooth clean lint free cloth, wiping from the centre to the edge. Never clean CDs with abrasive cleaning agents. 2.3 Care Of Cables It is good practice to always return the cables to their appropriate storage place. The cables have been manufactured to high standards, but will be damaged if they are driven over or exposed to excessive temperatures. Avoid pulling the cables, which may damage the connectors. 2.4 Connector Covers The top of the unit includes a plastic cover over the SD memory card slot. For protection against moisture and dust, always ensure that this cover is properly fitted. 2.5 Rugged Jacket DO NOT open the red rugged jacket or remove the cable connectors at the bottom of the tester as this could cause damage to the Teradyne Pocket Tester. Note Using any implement other than the stylus supplied may damage the screen. 1 2
